360-degree feedback

Do you know what others perceive as your strong points and weak points? 360-degree feedback helps you in this respect. Colleagues, managers, staff and possibly also clients fill out an anonymous questionnaire about your competencies. We compare the results with your own assessment of your strong points and weak points. In this way you get a clear picture of how you perform. You also receive recommendations about what aspect you can develop further.
